MIAMI (Gray News) – The U.S. Coast Guard says a search is underway for a woman who fell overboard during a Taylor Swift-themed cruise.

According to the Coast Guard, the 66-year-old woman was traveling aboard the Royal Caribbean ship Allure of the Season when she went overboard Tuesday evening while the ship was about 17 miles from the Bahamas.

The Royal Bahamas Defense Force is the lead agency in the search, with assistance from the Coast Guard.

The four-night, five-day cruise left Miami a day early and was en route to the Bahamas.

The cruise is a fan-sponsored event and is not affiliated with Swift herself, but it will reportedly feature “all things Taylor,” including karaoke, a dance party and a friendship bracelet exchange.

ABC News reports that about 400 people were registered for the cruise.

The Coast Guard said a plane and helicopter crew from Air Station Miami were also being used in the search for the woman.

According to the ship’s itinerary, it is scheduled to return to Miami on Friday.
